Police: Ring Of Thieves Targeting Honda Vehicles In Central Florida

ORLANDO, Fla. -- A ring of car thieves in southeastern Orange County, Fla., is being blamed for the theft of hundreds of Honda vehicles in recent months, according to investigators.
Police said gang members are apparently driving around the streets in zip codes 32803 and 32807, searching for vehicles to steal.
"There is an average of four or five cars (stolen) a night when they go out and steal cars," Orlando police Detective Juan Gonzalez said. "You have your Crips, you got your Bloods and Latin Kings."
Recently, Christopher Marrero, 16, was arrested on suspicion of stealing vehicles.
Marrero admitted to stealing more than 60 Honda cars -- himself, Gonzalez said.
The cars being targeted are Honda Accords and Civics, according to the report.
"I would say (car owners) have an 85 percent chance the vehicle is gong to get stolen," Gonzalez said.
Police said 338 Honda vehicles have been stolen since the middle of last year in the county, the report said.
Anyone with information concerning these crimes is urged to call Crimeline at 800-423-TIPS.
